Goodwill Houston Outlet Store 8225 South Gessner Drive, Houston, TX 77036

"Staff is amazing!!!! But sooo many kids running wild and rollerblading in the store you can’t enjoy shopping"

"Nasty place. Clothes smeared makeup and other substances, broken glass, plates and furniture. Plus scalpers are stealing all the carts and you have to wait hours for a cashier to attend you. If you want to find good items this is not the store to attend"

"This place used to be better. I don't mind digging through stuff or even contending with other eager buyers, but things have gotten out of control. They don't enforce the rules. People are wildly aggressive and it's too crowded to get near the bins without risking an elbow in the face. People also take several carts, as others have mentioned. I actually did manage to find a cart today but I think that was just luck. There didn't seem to be as much good stuff coming out as previously. They are particularly low on housewares, and when they do show up they got separated, tossed around and even broken by the other buyers. It also took a really long time to check out. I did find a few good items after being there two hours, but I'm just not sure it's worth it any more. I'll try another location but this one is closest to me."

"I love thrifting & I really wanted to love this Goodwill bins location but I honestly couldn’t. There were no baskets because the resellers were camped out in corners with about 2 full baskets each. The bins were crazy & had used underwear, broken glass, dirty tissues, & all types of nonsense in it amongst the donations. The fellow shoppers/resellers were very aggressive & disrespectful when new bins came out! Pushing & shoving others like their life depended on it. They only had 1 cashier open with a line to the back of the store & people not being mindful of said line by still shopping while in it. There were also unruly children running around screaming throwing footballs & baseballs across the room & it was also very hot inside! It’s just not ever that crucial for me! I’m just not that desperately in need so I’d rather go to a regular thrift store. I probably won’t be back but I did find a few very cute items in the midst of so much heat & chaos! $2.49 a lb for clothing which is so cheap! 2/5"

"In the past, this may have been a Goodwill Select Store - not anymore. Currently, it's a Goodwill Outlet store. All the merchandise that does not sell at the Goodwill Select stores is consolidated and sold at this store. They have really weird hours. They are open from 9 am - 10:30 am; 11:30 am - 1 pm; 2 pm - 3:30 pm and 4:30 pm - 6 pm. I think they use those three one hour breaks to restock incoming merchandise."
